- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt plus more for serving
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or ghee
- 2 tablespoons minced chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Toss chopped turnips with avocado oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Spread out onto a large rimmed baking sheet in an even layer.

Notes
*Chop turnips so that they're all approximately the same size. If you have a mix of large and small turnips like I do here, some may remain whole while others will need to be chopped into eights or more. White turnips (also called Harukei or Japanese turnips) or purple topped Globe turnips can both be used for this recipe.
